Tutorial: Easy No-Sew Flutter Cape With Armholes

I like to sew, but I'll be honest, I get excited when I see the words "No sew". And when I was trying to think of a design for this fleece and ribbon cape for my daughter, I thought it would be great if anyone could make it! So....

1) Cut out two pieces of fleece. One big enough to fit all the way around your child, with some flow-y room. And another piece that is about half the width, and 1 1/2 times the length of your first piece.

Mine were about 36x17", and 56x7", which makes about a 2T size.

2) Then lay your longer piece on top of the first piece, and make pleats until they are the same length.

3) At the top, cut slits every couple of inches that are about half the width of your ribbon, through all the layers, then weave your ribbon in and out of each hole.

4) Try the cape on your little one, and cut large slits at about elbow height for armholes.

5) Cut two tiny holes right next to each other for your ties. Do this for as many ties as you'd like, on both sides.

6) Cut a 7-8" length of ribbon for each set of holes. Thread them through each set of holes and tie, with knot facing inward.

And you're all done! Pretty easy!

Hope you're having a good day today!
